Housekeeping (My Eye …) Home Alone!

Both Niedermeyers, the younger and the elder, are off and away on some family thing for the day.

BS, assisted by Cammy Corrigan somewhere in Great Britain, is home alone! So if you miss Ed’s wit and Paul’s curbside classics: Don’t despair. They will be back. Tomorrow.

I’m off to see some seedy bar in Beijing for Friday night. During that time, all TTAC commenting policies are not in effect, so fire away.

But wait until daddy BS is back.

      Finally, a dog that figured out what to do with a car once he caught one.

    During that time, all TTAC commenting policies are not in effect, so fire away. This web site and its writers are stupid! General Motors is the best! The comment before mine was stupid, and the comment after mine will be stupid! Expletive, expletive, expletive! BMW sucks, not because of any specific reason, but because I say so! All TTAC reviewers are wrong about all cars and all suck! Expletive! Everyone is stupid! *sits down, panting*

      Dr. Zombie, obviously BS is one of "those" Germans, you know, the type that Basil Fawlty finds so offensive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb7K_KUJqoQ

    I remain convinced that the passage of time will result in a growing number/percentage of Americans living in their vehicles. Neither time, space nor inclination to give rationale for my belief on a message board entry but you young folks who will long outlive me (unless unlucky) note this Disgruntled Old Coot's mumbling and note trends in future days. A possible wealth source of the future could be for those who can alter vehicles into "stealth" housing providing a basic living level at an affordable price.
